Another girl, unnamed.

A girl, all of fourteen and unnamed-
Daughter of Ashiq Hussain, a villager from Rajouri district, Jammu-
is kidnapped one day by Lashkar terrorists;
three locals and six foreign mercenaries.

Headed by Abu Hamza, the terrorists gang rape her,
for over a month.

She is then forced to marry
Zulfikar Ali, one of the gang.
Iqbal, a moulvi at Buddhal is beaten
to execute the nikkah.

On a certain Friday, when the terrorists are busy praying,
the girl manages to escape.

Along with parents, she sets off for the local police station.
The police station incharge, she recognises,
is the one who regularly assisted the terrorists.
She has to flee again.

The whole family, of the girl, for want of help
Goes up to the deputy commissioner of police, Rajouri.
He says, “Sorry, no funds for such a case”.

Jammu city is where they land next.
Advocate A K Sawhney there, takes the girl to meet the Chief Justice.
The Chief Justice however, refuses to oblige.

Meanwhile,
The Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists paste posters of the gang raped girl,
whom they failed to detain.
Rs 50,000 is the reward,
for information to help hound the hunted child.

Narratives like these, I read everyday.
And everyday,
They become stories of yesterday.

Scares me,
To think that I might become
Another story someday.

Till then, every other day, the pain and anguish last
Only as long as the story does.

Wish I could put a handsome price,
on the heads of these men, turned into beasts.
